I thought this was just a cool video, and makes me think of engineering, but a cool prompt for creative thinking. Lots of math can be discussed here.

Love this idea (reminded me of zome pieces at first (maybe a good use for hands on modeling prior to computer). what other components would you add for math club? (I'm starting my on Oct. 6th! )

Today, we have instant access to vast amounts of information and to unlimited computing power. Both are now utilities, much like water and electricity. And that has led to a revolution in the mathematics ordinary citizens need in order to lead a fulfilling, productive life. In a world where procedural (i.e., algorithmic) mathematics is available at the push of a button, the need has shifted to what I and others have been calling mathematical thinking.

Studies have linked confusing English number names to weaker arithmetic skills in children. Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Turkish express math concepts more clearly.
